Great thread! :applause:

Mine is a 7" wrist but I read recently that BIG WATCHES are the in thing today so I'm not worried if a rep looks big on me.

6,7" wrist - SD is very nice piece for smaller wrist, but you have to remove/break on endlink of the bracelet with pair of tongs to center the clasp to the watch head otherwise the feel during wearing the watch is not comfortable in my view -> my bracelet has finally 4 EL´s on the front side

My bpsd on about 6.5 inch wrist. I think I have four permanent links on the 6 o'clock side. two removable links taken off on 6 o'clock size and one removed from twelve o'clock side. This is a tc bracelet though

mine was the stock BP bracelet and have removed one the the permanet links, to ensure head stays in the middle or a tiny bit more inside instead of slightly outside with 4 permanent links this feels finally more balanced for me.
with my 6263 the same also one permanent link removed and much better feel to wear the watch perfectly balanced (

my TC´s, Yachtmaster and all ceramic models i´m wearing without removing permanent links,
they are perfectly balanced only with normal adjustments.

Yes I see that you have four permanent links on the 6 o'clock side, including the fixed link attached to the clap. Where as I have four permanent links plus the fixed link attached to the clasp.

I was imagining my wrist was slightly larger, like yours. I would have to add a link on the six o'clock side which would move the clasp too far to the 12 o'clock side.

I lucked out being just a hair smaller wristed than you

Mate seems to be that we have in fact nearly the same wrist :drinks_cheers:

Do you have by any chance experience with the AP Diver,
they have 42mm but might appear bigger on the other hand im hand
sure if the stock rubber straps will fit or if the steel-bracelet version
is adjustable for slim wrist we have :doh:

I do not, sorry. I've often thought about trying one. But they do seem quite big. As well , I don't know how I feel about trying to pull off an AP. Otherwise I'd already have a 15400 in blue!

I've been owning the Diver for a few months now on a 6.5" wrist.
Rubber fits in second to last hole in rubber and bracelet is no issue either.
I think the main issue is thickness and not length of case, but it still wears very comfortably!

Thanks Mate - very good to know, have worked nearly through the entire thread in the meantime... :bounce:
will still try to get XS Strap or if i can´t get one - i will order SS-bracelet to be on the safe side.
